A Poet’s Ode to Self-Love

In solitude, where whispers dwell,

I find a tale I yearn to tell.

Not of knights or maidens fair,

But of a love that’s always there.

A poet’s heart, with ink and quill,

Writes of a love that time can’t still.

For in the shadows and the light,

Resides a soul, pure and bright.

No need for others to declare,

The worth within, beyond compare.

In silent moments, soft and still,

I pen the love that fills my will.

I cherish flaws, each scar and mark,

For they are proof of life’s embark.

A journey vast, with highs and lows,

In every turn, my spirit grows.

So here, dear reader, take this line,

Embrace your heart, let your love shine.

For poets know, and poets see,

The greatest love is always free.

Don’t seek the world’s fleeting praise,

In your own love, find endless days.

A poet’s truth, in verses told,

Love yourself, be brave, be bold.

This poem aims to capture the essence of self-love through the lens of a poet, celebrating inner strength and beauty.
